Paul is deep in Wandering Island and Kingyo Used Books, and Sean continues the Age of Apocalypse. This leads to a discussion about Cyclops, the quintessential X-Man who may seem boring on the surface, but has depths that we reveal in our discussion.

Also:
- We have a Covid minute, and talk about some of our observations of this weird world we live in.
- We recall the moments that we realized that Manga exist, and the great Manga explosion in America
- Paul's Perfect Cold Brew Recipe -- in details
- The real reason for the Manga brackets, even when the victor was all but assured, revealed!
- Paul has been reading Wandering Island, and talks about what he likes about it
- Collectible pricing for commodity reading material -- not the best situation
- Kingyo Used Books teaches us to enjoy the things we enjoy without hangups
- Comic stores aren't just for comics anymore, we have examples! 
- Some cures for comic burn out 
- Age of Apocalypse has lots of levels. Well, three levels. The Summers brothers are a great example of this.
- How X-Factor helps flesh out the story of Cyclops
- Also, the story of Cyclops is very traumatic.
- 90s comic book coloring [shudder]
- Plus a whole bunch more X-Men talk

And as always, the soothing sounds of outdoor Maine.
